Which risk increases during descent if increased swim bladder volume inhibits the ovale?

💡 Explanation

Barotrauma increases because Boyle's Law causes swim bladder expansion and the *diffusion* of oxygen gas out will be impaired by the restricted ovale, therefore the increasing pressure ruptures the bladder rather than volume adjustment.
